Soft plastic lure modification ideas
I have proven that lure action is important as well as that unconventional shapes and actions do provoke fish to strike. Regardless of the reasons anglers claim fish strike, more to the point are specific lure actions coupled with shape, material a lure is made of and size.
You can fuse the parts of soft plastic lures together using a candle flame. A part may be a segment of plastic worm or grub fused to the tail of something else. The first composite lure (chartreuse) was made from fusing Mr Twister grub bodies together after the curl tails were cut off and wacky rigged using a light ball head jig. The other blunt tails I added were from an injection mold.
You might consider these ideas for a wacky rigging that involve mini-soft plastic lures:

Get yourself a candle and scissors or razor blade and get to work !!!! No soft plastic lure is beyond consideration.
